Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- Not yet established
- Observations
Longevity in captivity is probably underestimated. One animal caught as an adult lived 3.5 years in captivity [0451]. Based on size and growth rates, the average longevity in the wild is estimated to be 12 years [0749].
